“What? Ian got Charta? ”

Another familiar landscape unfolds in the office of Planning Team 1.

It is common once every two days after you have handed over the Spirit Realm's content update planning to three teams.

Kim Eui-Hwan, the team leader of Planning 1, stood up and asked again about Judaism.

Kim's expression was frightening, that it was unbelievable.

“You're sure you got 'Charta’, not some other spirit? ”

But returning to that question was only a very definite confirmation.

“Yes, sir. I've just seen a report from the monitoring team that says it was an accident this morning. ”

In the word 'thinking’ from the mouth of Judaism, Kim's face nodded and opened his mouth again.

“An accident? Ha, yes, an accident. Come to think of it, it wasn't just an accident. It was a big accident. It's a big accident.”

“Sorry…… ”

“No, what are you sorry about? Charta wasn't meant to be captured at all. ”

In the case of the Lakador, it was a monster that had not assumed that someone would be able to capture it, while in the case of the Charta that was captured, it was not one that was likely to be excluded from the user's hand from the beginning.

Of course, he wasn't the one who was made to capture the egg from the fountain of life, but there was another quest on the way to get Charta's egg as we went further.

However, Kim said that he was a ‘big thinker'.

Ian's walk was also a complete disruption of the planning team's intentions.

“We'll make this quick. ”

“What action? Is there anything we can do? ”

“ ……. ”

Kim, who had become an old face for ten years, sat down with his sticky head.

I felt like I couldn't digest my lunch because it was delicious for a while.

"Whoa, what kind of crazy Ian moves so radically? ’

Even Ian's accidents in the Lava Land have not been recovered properly.

Besides, it wasn't just the captured chartar.

If Ian finds the ruins of the Holy Spirit at this rate, another set of transcendent equipment will be released.

After the fact that it might all fall into Ian's hands, there was a big problem.

"Content consumption is going too fast……. ’

If Ian were to force a scenario like this, the sub-quests associated with the main scenario would naturally be released to other users, and that would be a trigger to accelerate the rate of content consumption.

And, of course, accelerating the rate of content consumption means increasing the number of late nights for the planning team.

How the hell did you catch that crazy summoner? Luckily, you can't get caught at once.... What, are you chasing after the fountain of life a hundred times? ’

Kim, who remembered the contents of the fountain of life, felt the tingling of his head.

It was a situation that his mind could never comprehend.

Kim took a deep breath to restore stability, shaking his head that became more confused as he thought about it.

“Phew……. ”

But sighing wasn't going to solve it, so we had to take measures to prevent a bigger accident from happening in that time.

Kim's mind began to settle quietly.

What happened was that we had to predict the future.

‘If I had kept chasing the Valley of Life long enough to capture Charta, I would have met Elf NPC Aren by now……. ’

Gimyeonghwan Kim began to open and read the historical linkage quest planning document of the Holy Spirit which was stored in the file.

* * *

The Fountain of Life and the Valley of Life. And even to the ruins of the Holy Spirit, the most crucial role in the hidden association quest was' Charta ’.

The key to the quest was an Elf girl named ‘Arren’ NPC, which connects Chartar to the user.

In the original pursuit of the Fountain of Life, the NPC you were supposed to meet at a low rate was Arene, and it was right to get information about a rare Spirit Master named 'Charta’ after you met Aren (?).

And if Ian had moved to such a normal route, Ian probably wouldn't have captured Charta.

No, he wouldn't even think about capturing them.

Charta was, in fact, an NPC that would lead us into the Valley of Life, not to be captured.

However, until now, Kim was suddenly able to realize one thing.

‘Wait. If you captured Charta, didn't Ian get the quest from him? ’

The capture of Charta and the recipient of the ‘Help of Charta’ quest recognized that it was incompatible.

If you had received the quest first, you would not have thought of capturing it, and if you had captured it first, the quest itself would not have been triggered, so this is a perfect contradiction.

‘Then... what will happen? ’

And realizing this, soon the next problem came to mind in Kim's head.

Even if Ian didn't get the quest from Charta, the scenario setting was that Aren was going to try to find the Valley of Life.

‘If Ian had found the man who captured Charta, he would have moved with Ian to find the Valley of Life... …. ’

This is exactly the same as the next quest with one intermediate part of the linked quest missing.

You're not gonna get any bugs, are you? ’

After realizing that the quest structure could cause fatal problems, Kim's expression became a reflection again.

Bugs are a much more critical issue than faster content consumption.

Kim, who was in a hurry, opened his mouth to Judaism again.

“But Judaism. ”

“A long time ago, sir. ”

“Ian, did you meet with NPC Aren? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

“So what happens now? Aren must want to find the Valley of Life. ”

Subsequently, Yoo Dae-won, who was asked by Kim, scratched his back head and answered his question.

And the answer, again, was beyond Kim's imagination.

“I've already found the Valley of Life with Aren, and I'm breaking through..." ”

In response to the unexpected answer of Judaism, Kim's voice grew reflectively.

“What?"

‘No, I don't have an NPC for the quest, so how the hell are we supposed to break through? ’

It was actually very natural that Kim was embarrassed.

Originally, Charta would have to break through the chasm of the valley in the story, but now that Ian's Summoner is no longer acting as NPC.

‘It would be almost impossible to breach the barrier if Charta hadn't picked you up.' ’

Here, 'riding’ did not mean literally ‘riding.’

It means that after Charta burns the user, she can break through the barrier on her own.

However, as soon as it became an individual summoner, that ability would disappear, and Kim was questionable about that part.

‘No way, in the conclusion of the Holy Spirit...... You're not just heading off, are you? ’

After feeling something curious and ominous at the same time, Kim stood up again and left the office.

Yu's surrogate, who was puzzled, called him, but there was nothing to explain to him.

“Sir, where are you going? ”

“Monitoring room.”

Tatotak-!

Kim, who had just arrived at the planning team monitoring room, quickly opened the door and moved his gaze toward the large screen.

As he predicted, Ian's live footage of Screen 1 in Monitoring Room.

Kim's gaze was fixed on Ian's video as if he had been seduced by something, and he was able to solve the questions after a while.

“ ……! ”

Ian on the screen, he was doing Nogada, which was really controlling Charta to break through the barrier.

“Idiot……! ”

One thing is that Ian's gait is not able to move as expected, and Kim is starting to feel dizzy again.

But the panic is brief.

Kim, who was staring at the screen, suddenly felt better.

‘Wait. now that I think about it, it's a good situation, right? ’

Originally, the seal of the Holy Spirit was a mysterious pleasure (?).

The more I thought about it, the more I had no winners.

‘Yes, Ian, you monster. Let's have a good time. ’

Kim turned back to the planning office as if he were in a bad mood.

“Huhu, uh-huh! ”

The subordinates who witnessed the scene looked worried…….

“Tee, what's wrong with him? ”

“Perhaps you've suffered a shock too much? ”

Kim was just feeling good.

The pleasure of winning against Ian for the first time.) Thanks to you, the depression from the overtime went away.

But really win (?) The planning team or not, we had to wait a little longer.

* * *

The barrier around the valley was much thicker than the one you saw outside.

I thought the valley would come out just a little farther from where I had broken through without riding a Charta, but I couldn't see the end after a long time.

Thanks to this, Ian had to suffer two more failures after boarding Charta.

This is harder than I thought. ’

But what Ian found difficult was, in fact, a very natural situation.

I was heading to a place other than the boundary that the user had made me play in the first place, so I could say that it was not difficult.

Ian and Aren, of course, didn't know that.

“Wow, that's too bad. I really thought I was passing this time... ”

“Yeah. I didn't know that at the end of the day there was going to be an anomaly. ”

“But Ian is amazing. If it wasn't for Ian, no one would have made it this far. ”

Ian lost consciousness in a good mood, seeing the arena with twinkling eyes and admiring sincerely.

But apart from that, it was true that my head ached on the difficulty of the outcome.

Why does it feel so difficult to play games all of a sudden? ’

Although it was caused by the destruction of the Gaming Company's planning intentions, Ian could not have known.

Ian became more mindful of the wait for the reuse of Charta's unique abilities and then started the challenge again.

‘I really need to save Charta's unique ability until the end this time. Especially if the occult or spatial distortions are not near extinct waters. ’

Ian recalls the number of cases in his head and jumps back into the loop without a hitch.

- Heheheh heh heh!

But after about four or five hours,

‘This time it's like...! ’

Ian, who had failed dozens of challenges, was once again piercing the boundaries with a face full of coming.

“Tsk...! ”

- We hit the "Seal of the Holy Spirit."

Movement speed slows down by 20 percent for -10 seconds.

- Two hits so far.

-If it hits the seal more than three times, it is forced summoned to the entrance of the valley.

And this time, Ian, who was in crisis of fallout, was concentrating his whole mind on biting his thin lips.

Let's stay calm. We still have one more time. ’

But after a while, he came back to Ian with an exotic pattern.

“ ……! ”

After confirming it, Ian immediately triggered his‘ colonial ’unique ability that he had saved…….

- Summoner 'Charta’ triggers‘ Commandos’ unique ability.

- Focus your mind and become a 'colony’ that ignores all physical laws.

Fath-!

We managed to avoid a near collision and avoid falling fall.

‘Damn, I shouldn't have used this already...' ’

But Ian's crisis did not end there.

The instant I passed through the breach using a spectrum.

“ ……! ”

The three blue lights that once again appeared in Charta's path of ascent entered Ian's vision.

The inevitable collision pattern was triggered twice in a row.

There is no such thing as a singular situation.

“Damn……! ”

Ian suddenly started rolling his head like lightning, unwittingly scolding me.

If the colony had lasted longer, it would have been enough to get through to the next collision pattern, but clearly there wasn't enough time for that.

"Ugh, if only I could use some space distortion..." ’

And that's the moment.

One strange thought flashed through Ian's head like lightning.

‘Yes. I'm going to fail anyway...!' ’

Ian began to take control of Charta as soon as he came to his senses.

At that moment, Ian's group's shadow, which appeared to be colliding with the seal, suddenly turns to the side.

That-!

Then Charta, who burned Ian and Aren....

- Heheheh heh heh!

Immediately before the status quo was lifted, I jumped straight into the huge rock wall on the lateral side.
